Shooter Audrey Hale was able to buy seven firearms despite receiving treatment for for an emotional disorder. 

Hale, 28, has been described as having 'high-functioning' autism, but police revealed today she also was under doctors' care. 

Her parents  - Norma and Ronald Hale - knew that she had a weapon at one time, but told her to sell it because they thought she couldn't be trusted with it. 

Instead, she hid her stockpile and added to it, buying seven different weapons in total from five local stores.

Hale was at odds with her devout Christian parents, Church coordinator Norma, 61, and her husband Ronald, 64, because they 'couldn't accept' she was gay and trans, a source told DailyMail.com

Yesterday, she took three of her weapons to The Covenant School - two rifles and a handgun. 

Another two weapons were seen being removed from the house yesterday in a video obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com. 

At a press conference on Monday, Nashville Police Chief John Drake said of her family: 'They felt she had one weapon and that she had sold it. She was under doctors' care for an emotional disorder. 

'Her parents felt like she should not own weapons, and they were under the impression that she didn't own any anymore. But she had been hiding several within the house.' 

He added that Hale's mother saw her leave the house with a red bag yesterday and asked her briefly what was inside it. 

'She dismissed it, thinking it was just a motherly thing.' 

Despite being under doctors' care, her 'emotional disorder' had not been reported to the authorities. 

If it had, she might have been prevented from buying so many weapons.  

In addition to the weapons found at her home, police recovered these three weapons from the scene - confirming she had bought seven legally
